Marimekko specialises in really bright, arty printed fabric. The shop in London is decorated with fabric mounted on canvas as pictures. They will do it for you. I can't do links yet, so you'll have to google. It's not wallpaper, though.

Laura Ashley have some good bold prints. If you live near one of the shops and talk nicely to an assistant, they will usually give you a fairly large free 'sample' (to colour match) , so you may even be able to do some of the art for free

I loved Osborne and little til I found out that the twit of a shadow chancellor George Osborne is the (grand)son of the founder... and has shares and they donate to conservative etc etc

Delighted now I couldn#t afford this beautiful paper and went for cheaper Laura Ashley lookie likie

Sorry, that was a bit abrupt. I was just enjoying the wallpaper links so much ... .
Ramona, I have to confess that my dd. goes to school looking really, really stripey some days.

BtP - lurve it ! Has to be said that I am gutted that my curtain/wallpaper porn is real porn now...

Love the MArimekko pics too. Not cheap though

brimfull · 19/11/2008 22:28

marimekko on the cheap

dougal3 · 19/11/2008 22:30

Suggy - But you can buy the fabric and do it yourself at a fraction of the cost.
ILJ's idea was the most inspired cost-cutting one though.
lovelysongbird, I really hope you're enjoying this as much as the rest of us.
